loved the tour of the casino, guide was well informed and funny. Must see if you go. It was on the end of our island tour. (visited few yrs ago but had to chose a recent date....silly)

Took the behind the sciences tour. Fantastic building but the tour lasted barely an hour. The guide seemed to want to move us on as quickly as possible. I now know how long it took to build and how much it cost but little or nothing about who played there during its heyday. The ballroom and theatre/cinema are stunning but... More

We took the basic 3o minute tour and really enjoyed it. They discussed the history of the building and included some details of the artist who painted the murals. Tour includes the theater, mezzanine level, ballroom and balcony. The access is via a series of ramps so is easy on the legs but beware you do climb about 10 stories.... More

We took the basic one half hour tour. It really is an interesting building and you should definitely visit on your trip. It would be a shame to miss. Tour includes so island history as well. You see both the theater and the ballroom on the tour.

I was excited to tour the island but I was elated to go inside the Casino. The beauty can not be captured by camera. The outside alone is worth the trip but when you go inside and see the theatre and how preserved it looks you are blown away. Our tour guide was very nice and informative. Must do while... More

Many, many original features of this historic building are still around - and wonderfully preserved or restored. And you can see a flick at the theater and (on the weekends I think) enjoy live organ music before the show! Take special note on the tour of the ceilings, the aisle signs and the chandelier in the top floor ballroom.

What a wonderful place with a wonderful history! The tour was easy walking with an informative guide. There were no events going on while we were there; I'd like to return to attend something here. It's a flat, not-too-far walk from the center of town and the boat docks.

Went to a move on a Saturday night- arrived an hour early to hear the pipe organ and look around the casino. I did not take the tour, but will next time.

We took the back stage tour. Porschia was our guide and she led us through the theater, dressing rooms, projector room and ballroom. She has a wealth of knowledge and she even sang us the Avalon song with her beautiful voice. What a treat! The architecture and artistry was amazing. The paint on lobby ceiling was a brilliant red and... More
